- Listening to the sounds of wheels can tell you whether they need repairs or not. After doing the needed repairs on these wheels we can hear the difference in how the tires sound when they have been reset. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles, with wheelwright Dave Engel, helps in understanding the fundamentals of the wheelwright trade. We do blacksmithing, upholstery, painting and striping on traditional carriages, wagons, coaches and buggies. Thanks for following along.

I’ve been watching your videos for a while. Great production values, engaging subjects.
Recently, my wife and I watched first the new, then the old versions of “Around the World in 80 Days. The old was the better version.
As I watched, I found myself inspecting the wheels of everything from the ostrich-drawn cart to rickshaws and coaches. All your doing. Thanks.
the tinny clangy sound from before and the clear bell like quality after is unmistakable. Love watching your craftsmanship; its easy to see you truly enjoy what you do. Thanks for sharing.
The "after" sound makes you really understand the meaning of the term "tight as a drum"!
Busy week? Nah just a super busy week... And to think my week was busy. To what we do to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching you bend the wood. It looks at any point it's going to break. Also you tie that truckers hitch as if you have tied it many times before. Thanks for the video.
A little tip from an engineer type, if you want to keep a bit more of the heat from radiating out of those square steel tube steam chambers, clean the rust off the steel a bit and apply some aluminum paint to them. The shiny silver color helps keep the heat from radiating some. Without even adding some kind of insulation to them. It uses something called "emissivity". Might be helpful especially in the summer. "Aluminum" paint is not for painting aluminum, it has powered aluminum as a pigment, hence its long lasting silver color. Often popular for trackside railroad equipment.
I always assumed the wagon bows were made of iron! Makes sense to steam bend wood though. I remember as a kid completing a wood chuck wagon kit. Wagon Train was a popular show then.
Always put a needed tool in its place; Dave never loses that tool. Me, on the other hand, have tools scattered and lost.
You’re a true craftsman, so enjoyable to watch in action.
Wood in compression is a wonderful thing, and very useful too. I try to teach that ,listening and touch, are a fantastic diagnostic tool. If you pay attention carefully. Sight is the last tool I teach, it only follows touch and listening. Vibration and resonance is especially important as a way to comprehend a source of problems in mechanical things. Thanks Dave for pointing this out so clearly.
I know it’s only one aspect of a wagon rebuild but but I think I like when you rebuild the wheels the best. Ps. THANK YOU
Watching you working those wheels reminds me of a time I was watching a farrier.
Another entertaining and educational half hour in the Engels shop. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
As I watch you do these wheel restorations I was thinking how wobbly they would run if I replaced those spokes. 😀The length of your experience and ready remedy shows through even on these condensed versions of the process.
I'm always amazed at how fast Dave is with a hammer. ;)
The difference in sound between the original wheels and the repaired ones is like tightening a slack drum head! Another great video Dave, thanks very much.
I wasn't very old, but I remember one time Dad backed the wagon out in the pond and left it, I asked him why, and he said the wheels were getting loose. I guess it would work for a while.
We have some 400-500 year old ponds (or the remains of) around here that were explicitly there for dunking wagons and carts to keep the wheels from drying out, thought being the UK I'd guess they were only needed for a few weeks in the summer.
Yes, but that it a temporary fix. Water and wood are not a great long term combination however, linseed oil is.
Congrats on the Makita sponsorship, Mr. E!
I think you should ask them to send you more tools :)
That's amazing -- it's like you tuned those wheels up to pitch, musically I mean. Really enlightening to hear the difference. My two cents on the dust: wait for a windy blue norther if you can, and open all the doors before you crank up the blower. (That's what I do, but hey I'm retired.) P.S.: I really liked the bird's-eye view too.
Thanks for sharing such beautiful work always God bless you and your family ✝️ stay safe and have a wonderful weekend
The very first wooden spoked wheels would have caused such a stir. Imagine the pleasure the wheelwright got making the first of this style?
Clearly soundly repaired. : )
Also, when you went to repair the fellows on those wheels, the new wood looked to be 1.5"+ thick and made of a single piece of wood. Being able to bend something that thick opens up all kinds of possibilities !
The sights and sounds of craftsmanship.
Music to a craftsman ears.
Hello Sir, I very much appreciate Your videos, I like the most the lovely landscapes You choose for the intro. Certainly I enjoy to watch and learn, too but it´s the intros that make me want to go back to horse drawn cars. I don´t like riding but having them horses draw me along is nice.
Kind regards from Germany
I value people like you very much
Studebaker brothers are envious! And I'm impressed!!!
The sound from before and now is a lot better, it goes to shore that for every job well done there is a reward at the end thanks for sharing 😀👍
Kind regards from London Ingland 🇬🇧
From a musical standpoint, a couple of them sounded a little flat and one a bit sharp. 🎵🎧👂🏽
Fastest 20 minutes ever. Watching you work is a whole lot of fun. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills and abilities with us.
Dave - Listening to the wheel’s “tune” is something we still do today on spoked motorcycle wheels. Like with wooden wheel it tells us if the wheel is tight or not.
I never get tired of watching you work on wheels.
Once again another great video Dave. love watching you bending the wood and that old "Trucker's" knot. being an old Hay dealer tied my share of loads 7 tier high on my rig and we always called that knot a "Dutchman" guess it depends on which clan you learned it form huh? Thanks for sharing. ECF.
Thank You Dave

This old man loves to watch👀 a young man make wheels from the past new again....Thanks Dave and glad to see your weather warming up out your way🙏👍👍
I love your twirling death machine spoke shave, right at throat level..
It’s dangerous building wagon wheels.
Blows out shop, and buries the town under a fog of wood dust... 0~o One would wonder if you had a large tank of Linseed oil out back with which to dunk these wheels for a spell before mounting the rubber. I'm sure the sound of the wood sucking up said oil would be quite entertaining. ^~^
Leaf blower cleaning... :) I've been known to do that in my basement shop. Put a box fan in the doorway blowing out and let 'er rip. I thought I was the only one that did that.
Before wheel,,,,, DOA, renewed wheel has a lively rebound ready to roll. Thanks Dave
Dave, next time you want to use the blower to clean, open the front and back doors, place a large fan at the door that you want to blow toward and have it blowing out. It eliminates a lot of the dust that settles on your equipment after you quit blowing. And it will keep the dust down so well you might even give up the mask and it makes the job go a lot faster as well as allowing you to do a better job of cleaning. I love being able to use the blower to clean my shop.
Ha! I'm thinking dust EXPLOSION myself. If there is a fire is going and the air mixture is just right.. KA-BLOO-IE. Blows the dust right out, windows, doors and maybe the roof too.
My experience with leave blowers is that they generate more dust than they evacuate.
@@horatiohornblower868 That's the reason for opening the door at both ends. You have to have a fresh air source that can quickly replace the blown air, otherwise you are just making the dust airborne and recirculating it in the shop once it's airborne. And the fan blowing out at the exit door will help direct the dust to the outside,
@@opendstudio7141 Yea, I hope anyone that has a wood shop knows enough about the potential for dust flashover to avoid that sort of problem and not have any open flames during the process.
I've seen you repair wheels so many times now, but every time my admiration for your skills increases.
Amazing. I have so many questions... Well done. I love restoring old wagon wheels as a hobby but this is a new level and I always wondered how things were done.
I appreciate your attention to detail and the craftsman ship you always apply to every job! An old technique to age wood is to mix some India ink with alcohol and apply it to new wood, it gives the wood a nice grey tint.
Watching you blow the dust out of your shop reminded me of when I worked in a furniture factory. We did this every year in December, to prepare for the annual physical inventory. We used compressed air hoses, opened all the windows and doors and blew dust for about 4 hours! It worked, but if we would have had any static electricity sparks, it would have blown the roof off!
Always like watching you not only build new wheels but being to repair. Like shrinking the hoops on too.
It is just fun to watch you Sir
Got my Friday fix now. Thanks Dave!
Hi Dave ,thanks for another interesting video, it never gets boring watching you restore old wheels, and I could tell the difference in tone, and bounce afterwards.the weather at the moment is pretty strange, looks like your warming up a bit. Looking forward to the next video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
It from -21 F the previous week to 60 above this week. Now it is down in the 20s above and snowing.
Hopefully folks can "hear" the difference in a loose wheel vs. one that is evenly taught. Big difference. Still, I enjoy seeing how the professional easily repairs old and neglected wood and iron. I can imagine how the want to be pro would tackle some of these jobs and in a few videos, the proof is in their pudding. There's just no replacement for a true experienced wheelwright as what goes around comes around as they say...get 'er done right the first time and I'll see you in half a century !
Sir you make that look easy.
When you get to the Chuck box it would be great to get Kent Rollings imput and he might even feed you!
Love what you do. And it's nice that Makita got around to recognizing you too.
Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing
Another great video Dave. Stay safe and well.
Great time of year for adding that kind of heat to your shop.
It is so comforting to watch you work and talk....Thank You Sir!
I guess with fuel ⛽️ prices shooting up I guess folks will drag out wagons fix/patch to run to the store. Run through the drive through horse 🐴 gets a pup cone in stead of the dog and or both.
Fascinating!
Thanks a lot for this video.
It was again a pleasure to see.
Excellent quality, thank you again for such awesome quality.

Thank You from La Pine Oregon
UN GRAN PROFESIONAL !!
Take the time to watch. At the end you never will be disappointed.
... Wanting more.
Thank you very much. 👋🏻👍🏻
cuanto se aprende viendote trabajar, saludos
Always fun to watch a master at work. Steam bending is a great snow day job. Keep warm.
TELL EVERYBODY HELLO, SEE YOU NEXT WEEK, GREAT VIDEO...
Another very useful video thanks.
Interesting the tighter they are the higher the pitch and more "ring" to them... always a pleasure to watch you work.
SO INTERESTING !! Thanks for sharing !!
Very tight! Enjoyed watching.
A video full of hammering may not be suitable while I have a migraine but I don’t care I’m addicted to this wagon building stuff
Pretty nice solid sounding wheels!
-20, oof, that's some Alaska weather there. It's hovering about freezing today, but tonight is supposed to get into the low teens. Still, unseasonably warm for this time of year.
Great job .. You could make your own wheel sound music 👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing work so as alwys. I love to watch the videos. When is was 15 and started my way in working with wood (all things you can make of it) and ended with 19, i learned many of the old things. I'm still proud of what i have learned and worked with.
I truly enjoy your videos and the information that goes with the content!!!
Great clip. Fascinating!
But 65F a "pretty warm day"?
Here in Australia that is an ice age!
loose sounds like a walkting stick that has a split in it. The good sound solid and bounce.
شكرا ديف من مصر نحييكم 🇪🇬💐
Fun video Dave. Thanks.
The mark of a craftsman! Love watching your videos! God bless!🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Thanks for sharing 👍
very satisfying craftmsnship -thank you
Excellent work!
Great demo as always, thanks for putting these out there!
Thank you. I enjoy your methodical work. Stay safe
... Cheers to you ...
Very good
The repaired wheels sound like a finely tuned guitar! On a lighter note: Way back on the railways there were guys that sat near a station, where the train moved at a crawling speed, and tapped each wheel and according to the sound they could determine if something was wrong with that specific axle. One day an apprentice asked the guy with 30 years experience what a problem axle sounded like. "I don't know" came the answer.
Love your awesome educational video sir thank you
Guy eating breakfast across the street- " Waitress, my eggs taste like wood"
Instructive, entertaining, and enlightening. I really like each and every video.
amazing truly NOW who are you passing this talent on too
Great job Dave, sure did tighten them wheels up and sound different. Thanks for sharing with us. Fantastic work. Fred.
Sounds tuned
Very interesting demonstration, I enjoyed it very much. I always enjoy your expertise in building and repair.
Thank you for sharing your work.
The sound is very much like the difference between a basketball that's lost air and one that's well inflated.
That's the sound of a quarter bouncing off a bunk.
Okay, well demonstrated is the mastery of the wheelwright. We have seen the objective met. Now let's see when things don't go right.
I wonder, when kerfing the fellows of fresh wood, especially if kiln dried, how much the concern the kerf opening up. Especially seeing how it appears most clients leave their waons open to weatherr.
Hi Just to tell you that you do a grant job. From Kitchener Ontario Canada .Thank you show all about it
I always find your video's fascinating. It almost sounded like the floor was hollow in the 'before' parts.
Thank you so much for your videos, I have been watching every Saturday lunch time here in the UK since the early days of the Borax wagons. One thing that concerns me is that you seen to be a lone craftsman with no successor. It would be a shame if such a mass of acquired knowledge was lost. Keep up the good work, stay safe and best wishes from Burnley Lancashire UK.
